The Parliamentary Agriculture Committee is examining the foot-and-mouth disease crisis in the Larnaca district. Farmers are protesting the decision to cull all animals from a unit if a case is detected. Tensions are high, with producers obstructing euthanasia procedures. Notable proposals have been submitted to the parliament for fair compensation and support for the affected.
